Your Team Mates

The frontend team consists of both our frontend developers and designers, we work closely with all parts of the business to create tools that vary across the whole company, from the publishing team to create a portal for people to submit games, the marketing team on things like our website, all the way to our internal teams for things like administration and analytics.

What Does The Job Actually Involve?

You\'ll be working directly with the server and client teams to create our games server admin interfaces. And closely with the analytics team developing features for our analytics platform.
